Suddenly a voice came, and two people rushed in.
What's the matter that you're so panicked?
This is Li Kui, the old general's deputy. He is tall and strong, but honest and reliable.
"They, they went to the stables."
hiss!
The old general had just given a strict order forbidding them from eating the warhorses, but these people still went.
Does this mean they're not even listening to him anymore?
Li Kui was not only tall and strong, but also had a loud voice.
Han Luoxue, who had just dozed off, was also woken up.
She jumped up and quickly walked out.
"What's wrong?"
At this moment, the old general, disregarding Han Yuchen, had already run swiftly towards the stables.
Han Yuchen grabbed Han Luoxue's hand and said coldly:
"Someone wants to kill the warhorses."
"Ah...this..."
Although Han Luoxue had never served in the military, she knew the importance of warhorses to the army in ancient times.
Are those people crazy?
Or do you not want to fight in the future?
"What happened?"
"I was hungry."
"Many people are now starving."
Han Luoxue was ashamed; what kind of world is this?
People outside the border resorted to cannibalism, exchanging their own children for food, while those at the border slaughtered warhorses to satisfy their hunger.
At this rate, this country is doomed.
"Xue'er, we need to get our food out as soon as possible."
Han Luoxue nodded firmly:
"Can the people here be trusted?"
Han Luoxue wasn't quite sure; she could produce food, but she couldn't just conjure it up out of thin air.
If the outside world knew about her condition, it would be quite a scandal.
It's practically a mobile granary.
"I dare not say."
Although he was my maternal grandfather's man, there were definitely other people's spies among them.
"I'll handle it."
Han Luoxue nodded and let Han Yuchen pull her along; the two of them started jogging.
Although the old general was quite old, he ran very fast, and the two of them couldn't catch up even when they were jogging.
"Grandpa's got good stamina, huh?"
Han Luoxue was deeply impressed.
"I need to be better."
Um, Han Luoxue was embarrassed. Was that what she meant?
"Grandpa wants us to get married here first, and then have a wedding banquet when we get back. Is that alright?"
"The main problem is that this place is too far from where we live, and this is the only relative I have."
Han Luoxue originally wanted to shake her head; she was still so young and didn't want to get married so soon.
But Han Yuchen's next sentence.
Han Luoxue suddenly didn't know how to refuse.
She felt it was difficult to refuse the old woman's wish.
Han Yuchen was the man she liked, so getting married first didn't seem like a bad thing.
"I can consider it if it's just a formality."
Han Luoxue's body had also been enhanced, so running this distance wasn't tiring for her.
"Um?"
Hearing this, the man was somewhat displeased and wanted to say something, but then he heard the old general's loud curses:
"Li Zijian, Hua Li, are you two trying to rebel?"
"I told you not to even think about taking warhorses, but you all ignored me?"
The group had arrived at the stables, and the two leading figures were the generals of the stables.
The two men each led a warhorse, their broadswords still drawn at their waists.
Hearing the old general's curses, they all turned around angrily. These dignified men, seven feet tall, had bloodshot eyes and tears still wet on their faces!
"Yes, I've gone mad."
"You said warhorses can't be eaten, don't I know that?"
"But... old general, go and see how many men have already fallen in our camp?"
"They are going to die, not on the battlefield, not in a fight with the enemy, but from starvation, from starvation to death."
"Warhorses are our comrades-in-arms, our closest companions, but what about them? What are they?"
"Is it an animal?"
"Did they deserve to die?"
...
The two men's bloodshot questions left the old general speechless, unable to utter a single rebuttal.
“General, you raised us all. You said warhorses shouldn’t be killed, do you think we could bear to do that? But so many brothers, I don’t want to watch them starve to death.”
“I killed the warhorse not for myself. I, Li Zijian, hereby swear that if I eat even a single bit of the warhorse, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death.”
"Me too, Huali."
Looking at the two tough men, Han Luoxue felt a lump in her throat.
With tears in his eyes, the old general could only say in the end:
"But... even if we eat the warhorses, we won't be able to hold out for more than a few days."
"But if we live a few more days, we might be able to receive supplies from the imperial court."
That's a lot...
The fierce glint in Han Yuchen's eyes flashed and disappeared so quickly that no one noticed it.
"Heh, the imperial court's provisions?"
The commotion here has already attracted a lot of people.
Someone in the crowd spoke up, and everyone's expressions darkened.
Although their eyes weren't bright green when they looked at the warhorses, they were all emaciated and looked like they hadn't eaten properly for a long time.
It's hard to imagine that these are our soldiers guarding the border.
Han Luoxue felt extremely bitter. She silently scanned the space and found that the grain she had accumulated along the way amounted to more than 100,000 catties, vegetables to more than 300,000 catties, and fruits to tens of thousands of catties.
Should we use the surge card now?
Or is it that doubling card?
Han Luoxue hesitated for a moment, then decided to wait and see what Han Yuchen thought.
After all, you can use it before taking it out.
"impossible."
"The imperial court cannot abandon us."
